Chapter 8: Rescue (1)
Two days later, I set off with Luković and the six members of the squad with Samolov and crossed from Hungary to Croatia after passing through several countries.
After entering Croatia, Semolov quickly got in touch with the person who picked us up. There was only one person who answered us, and it looked more like a guide. This man was so bald that he wore a hat on his head to hide it. The man looked like an intellectual with glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he was driving a bus, and the man said he was a bus driver. There were not just nine of us on the bus, there were dozens of other people we didn't know at all.
Semolov told me that these people were going to the people near Osijek, and we were mixed in. So we sat down in the back of the car and headed with the gang to Osijek.
On the way, I noticed that Croatia was a much better country than Serbia I had seen. It's just that people feel even rarer, and I haven't seen many people along the way.
I whispered Luković's question about Croatia. Lukovic told me that I was right, that Croatia was considered good among the former Yugoslavia in terms of overall economic level. It should have been more developed, but because of the civil war after independence, it should have regressed a lot. And Osijek, where we went, is one of the top cities in Croatia.
The car arrived in Osijek after about half a day's drive. The bus driver who picked us up and drove us all the way to the parking lot where he parked the bus before stopping. This gave me the opportunity to concentrate on the scenery along the way.
Honestly, no matter what else happens, this city of Osijek is really good. Not that he's so developed, at least in terms of scenery, it reminds me of Prague. Many of the buildings here are in the Prague baroque style. Of course, it's not as good as Prague, it's just a shadow. Another point is that there are fewer people on the road here than I expected. Lukovich said that this is still the number one big city, but in terms of the density of people on this road, it is not as dense as the towns below my home city.
The bus driver took us to a hotel-like place and stopped at the parking space in front of the hotel for buses.
Originally, I thought we were going to stay in a big hotel this time, but the bus driver took us into the hotel and went straight to another parking lot. The parking lot was at the back of the hotel, and when he got there, the bus driver came to a car, threw him a key, and pointed to another car next to the car, "These are the two cars." Let's all get on the bus. ”
There were ten of us in total, and two cars were barely right. I was in a car with Lukovich and the bus driver. The car quickly moved out of the parking lot, and Semolov followed our car all the way. The car quickly drove to a house on the outskirts of the city.
The driver quickly pulled over and got out of the car. We all got out of the car with him, and then followed the guy into the house on the side of the road, and when everyone was in the room, he handed the two keys to Semolov, then looked at him and said, "One is the key to my car, and the other is the key to this door." Now they are all yours. As he spoke, he walked inside and dragged out a box from the room, which was quite large and felt heavy. Help me. ”
One of Semolov's men helped the bus driver carry the box onto the table. He opened the box and said, "This is for you." If there's anything else you need, you can talk to another guy when he's coming. “
"Another guy?" I said and looked at the bus driver.
"Yes." The man nodded at me, "Another person." I'm only responsible for bringing you here. The man said as he opened the box. We saw a row of telephones neatly arranged in the box, and several other pistols. The man took out a pistol and placed it on the table and said, "HS2000 pistol." Don't look at the Croatian country, but this gun is their own. Very easy to use, 9 mm caliber, magazine load of fifteen rounds. There are ten here, and three hundred rounds of ammunition should be enough for you for the time being. “
"You can't just have these pistols, right?" Lukovic asked.
&nb
sp; The man looked at Lukovich and smiled, "I don't know about this. I was ordered to bring this. You might be able to ask another guy when he comes. ”
The man took out a wad of money, "This is the local currency, kuna." If you need to buy something, you can take them and buy them. On the east side of the street at the entrance, there is a supermarket. However, I recommend that you go out as little as possible, there are only 100,000 people in this city, which means that it is always easy to remember the presence of strangers here. The man put down the money and looked at us, "Any more questions?" If not, I'll leave. He looked at the watch on his wrist, "That guy will be here in about an hour." ”
Semolov looked at me, "Do you have a problem?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No." Anyway, someone will come later, and it is estimated that that guy is the one who will provide the specific information. ”
Semolov looked at the guy, "Thank you. We don't have any problems anymore. ”
The man nodded and put his hat back on his head, "Good luck to you." After saying that, he quickly opened the door and walked away.
After the man left, Semolov fired a pistol and a phone number, and Lukovich took the pistol and looked at it repeatedly in his hand and said, "If only I could get some explosives or something." “
We all looked at him, and I said, "What do you want to do?" Do you want to blast? “
"Huh." Lukovich smiled and said, "I just think it's more convenient to get an explosive and blow it up directly." “
"Huh." Semolov smiled and said, "I'm afraid that we will be blown up ourselves." ”
I looked at Semolov and said, "He used to be a master of explosives. When we were fighting in Serbia, he used explosives to bury a bunch of enemies who had penetrated our line. “
"Really?" Semolov asked, looking at Lukovic.
Lukovich smiled and said, "Believe it or not, all I can tell you is that it's definitely good for giving me some of those things." ”
Semolov looked at me and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Absolutely. If we really want to rob prisons, explosives are really more convenient. I said.
"Okay. Then when that guy arrives, we'll ask him, hoping that he will meet our requirements. Semolov replied.
